The use of metal structures like Orthopaedic Implants to fix fractured bones is not a new concept, it has been practiced for decades.

The field of orthopedics has evolved a lot in the last 3-4 decades and we can now have an artificial limb fitted in the amputees, and they can enjoy almost normal lives as a person with natural limbs.
